Free PSD Twitter Background Template
Well I have had tons of people ask how I design my twitter backgrounds and get everything to look right. So, instead of telling everyone- I took 5 minutes and made a twitter template. Inside of the template I made guides that match up with different resolutions.
Note:
Twitter aligns all backgrounds to the left.
Make note of this when designing your background. Also, you can put elements to the far right but be aware that some users will not see them depending on what monitor/resolution they are running. I included the “twitter container” (logo and space where your tweets are housed) it is actual size. So you can move it into different resolutions to keep in mind what other users will see.

Chad, I found this really useful, so I updated it to include layer comps that shift the twitter area to the center on the different resolutions:

Thanks Chad! Super helpful :)
Perfect! Thanks for taking the time! =D
Any tips on clarity/resolution? I built mine at 72dpi as one website suggested but it looks so pixelated!
Thanks for the template, this will surely come in handy. :)
Cool resource. Thanks, this is a time saver. Thanks for the fuel!
Ridiculously simple! Much thanks!
what about the #NewTwitter template? I need to make one ASAP!
I used this template back with the old twitter, which worked PERFECT! but now I got newtwitter and it looks like crap now…
I’ll be making one when I get the new twitter. You’d think out of about 8 accounts I’d have it by now…
Did you make one for the new twitter yet?
Thanks!
You just saved my atleast 5 to 10 HRs thanks a Ton
Just used it for my new twitter account, works for me… Thx a lot, saved me a lot of work!
Absolutely brilliant psd. I am still not sure why twitter have not released a handful of stylesheets to apply. Am sure its on the way.
Awesome! Brilliant stuff! Thanks mate!
Thanks for the info! Saved me a bunch of time! :)
Thank you much!!!
Thanks for the two nice templates, FB Fan Page and
Twitter.
Thank you so much!
This is exactly what I was looking for. You would think that they would give this information on the Twitter website, but I could not find it anywhere.
You rock!

Hi Chad,
Isn’t this for the older Twitter layout? I am working on a blog post about the new Twitter layout and how it affects background design, would you like to collaborate on an update to this post? I just made myself a new template and judging by the comments here, I have a feeling your readers would be interested!
Take care,
Amy
Hey Amy,
This is based on the old twitter BG. I made an updated one not too long ago here: FYC – Free New Twitter PSD
Cheers for this, saved me a load of time trying to figure out widths and whatnot!
